  1. Hot Shot

    Hot Shot is a song written by Barry Blue and Lynsey de Paul, that was released as a single on 2 September 1974 on the Bell Record label by Barry Blue. It was Blue's last chart entry with an original song, reaching no. 23 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite this, it is considered as one of Blue's best songs. The song was also his biggest hit in Sweden where it reached no. 1 on the Poporama singles chart, and in Zimbabwe where it peaked at no. 3. "Hot Shot" also reached no. 8 on the Hessischer Rundfunk Hitparade, and spent three weeks on the Dutch Tipparade in 1975. Blue performed the song on twice on BBC TV's Top of the Pops on 11 October 1974 as a new release and 31 October 1974 when it entered the U. K. singles chart. The latter show also featured the song's co-writer, Lynsey de Paul, who was performing her own hit at the time "No Honestly". As well as being included on Blue's 1974 Hot Shots album, "Hot Shot" has been included on many compilation albums. In 1996, it appeared for the first time on CD as a track on Blue's album Greatest Hits. In 2002, it appeared as a track on Barry Blue - The Singles Collection, and in 2003 on Dancin on a Saturday Night. It also was a track on the 1975 compilation album, Supersonic and the 1976 K-Tel album, 44 Superstars.

Military Dictionary and Gazetteer

  1. hot shot

    Shot made red-hot for the purpose of setting fire to buildings, shipping, etc. The charges for hot shot are from one-fourth to one-sixth the weight of the shot. With small velocities, the shot splits and splinters the wood, so as to render it favorable for burning. With great velocity the ball sinks into the wood, is deprived of air by the closing of the hole, and chars instead of burning the surrounding wood. It should not penetrate deeper than 10 or 12 inches. Red-hot balls do not set fire to the wood until some time after their penetration. They retain sufficient heat to ignite wood after having made several ricochets upon water. The wads for hot shot should be made of clay or hay, the latter to be well soaked in water, and before being used, the water pressed out of it. With proper precautions in loading, the ball may be permitted to cool in the gun without igniting the charge. The piece, however, should be fired with as little delay as possible, as the vapor would diminish the strength of the powder. They are heated by means of furnaces erected for the purpose, which hold sixty or more shot. The shot being placed, and the furnace cold, it requires one hour and fifteen minutes to heat them to a red heat; but after the furnace is once heated, a 24-pounder shot is brought to a red heat in twenty-five minutes. Red-hot shot is not in general use.
